SLAMMED vs LONG
which is objectively better and why
>>2453099
long has less health problems i believe and is better because i don't like seeing creatures slowly suffocate on their own stunted genetics
>>2453099
Long is better in health, function, temperament, and aesthetics. Not even a contest.
Who's better as a deterrent?
What do you get if you mix a pug and a greyhound?

A cute.

Why don't they just breed pugs with longbois for a few generations to fix the issues with the flat face?
>>2453134
Because the breed standard calls for the face. Also breeders are incredibly obsessed with pedigree.
An even more extreme example of this is deafness in Dalmatians. About 70% of Dalmatians are affected by hearing problems. This is due to a specific mutation many purebred Dalmatians have. There've been effords to breed in other hounds, test for the mutation. After several generations of breeding with purebred Dalmations they are pretty much indistinguishible but not predisposed to deafnes. Yet breeders won't accept them.

Ah, no. It's about hyperuricemia, not deafness.

this is the main reason you shouldn't fall for the "reputable breeder" meme
anyone who breeds for anything other than working lines is irreputable imo
>>2453229
This.
Anyone who breeds for show or pedigree breeds inbreds.
Look for the people who actually work their dogs. The people who raise dogs for their intended purposes. they'll have healthy whelps.
Also do your research before you settle on your new doggo. Huskies are getting a new dosage of inbred mutts in their genepool thanks to Game of Thrones and stupid pet owners.

Borzoi are one of the healthiest breeds and live for 10-12 years, longer than most other large dogs.
That little mutant at the top of your image is a sad freak of nature.

These guys are right. Most breeders are aiming for appearance and will often neglect health. Dogs bred for work have to be healthy to fulfill their functions. It's so much better for the animals.
If you must buy a purebred, try to find working dogs or you're giving your money to some real assholes. Better yet, adopt a mutt. But you knew I was gonna add that last part.
Also, longboy.
